• Ukraine's "pshyoagromor" Wins $100,000 Opening Event

After a good start of the 888poker XL Inferno Series with the first three events on Day 1, the series continued with two events on Day 2. Ukraine's "GangstaGo" almost did the impossible to win both events, but came short in the second event of the day. Let's have a look at the results.

XL Inferno #4 - $20,000 Twins Royal

One of the two events of the day was the XL Inferno #4 - $20,000 Twins Royal. In this event, 440 players paid the buy-in of $55 and there were 166 rebuys. That created a total prize pool of $30,300, almost fifty percent more than the guaranteed prize pool of $20,000.

In the end, it was Ukraine's player "GangstaGo" who was the strongest after defeating "xXGlamBabeXx" in the final heads-up. The runner-up received $4,242 while "GangstaGo" secured $5,757!

XL Inferno #5 - $20,000 Twins Flush

The next event of the day started at the same time and the XL Inferno #5 - $20,000 Twins Flush attracted a field of 622 players. They were all chasing the first prize of $5,909. "GangstaGo", who won Event #4 earlier in the day, had another deep run and almost got a second win for the day.

In the end, the Ukrainian was eliminated in third place for $3,188. After that elimination, the remaining players made a deal. Runner-up "LeggySusie" received $4,600, while Swedish winner "Sluuut123" won $5,663.
